The
Madrid Work & Organizations Symposium is an annual event
co-organized by IE Business School, IESE Business School, and

their own research. The Symposia wish to bring together scholars with
different disciplinary backgrounds, such as economics, psychology and
sociology, as well as researchers with multidisciplinary backgrounds.
